What do I look for in a Jeter game used bat?
I haven't collected many game used bats, but am thinking of purchasing a Jeter game used bat in the near future. What do I need to look for in Jeter bats, that will distinguish them from a store model that was manipulated as appearing game used? Thanks!

I suggest you pay the premium and buy from Steiner. I believe in the long run you will be be glad you did.

I would but some of the Jeter bats sold by Steiner show very little use.

Jeter uses most of his game bats till they break:
Chris
NY Giants, NY Yankees, Don Mattingly, Mattingly brand bats (any player)

That's a nice one, but the ones listed on their website show very little wear.

Those could be stock photos.

Contact John Taube at www.gameusedbats.com
I have seen many Jeter game used bats on his website through the years, some signed and unsigned, all with great game use.
Below is a nice example of one that he had on his website a while back.
Good luck,
Bobby

Thanks for posting those photos, it also reminded me about this question. Does an MLB Authenticated hologram add more value on a Jeter game used bat, or does a Steiner hologram suffice?

I think it does, this particular Jeter bat was photo matched to the "famous fake hit by pitch" in 2010. Originally Posted by yankees24

Steiner get's them directly from Jeter a couple time a year. Keep calling them and requesting photos of the bats they receive. You'll eventually find what you're looking for.
Bobby, I agree....JT is a good source as well.
Bulbus, Nice bat. Jeter's don't get much better than that!
